Riversmart Communities project

The Riversmart Communities project seeks to develop best management practices for flood prevention by linking fluvial geomorphology to New England-specific conditions. It uncovers challenges and constraints caused by distinct jurisdictional and institutional fragmentation, highlighting successful strategies and disseminates information to towns, officials, landowners, businesses, environmental organizations, and others. It is an integrated-research-and-extension project of the Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment and the Department of Geosciences.
